SIMD is a library which exposes basic SIMD functionality for more efficient computation.
Ruby (MRI) 1.9.3 and later is supported.
SIMD objects can be created by passing Arrays of compatible objects to their appropriate constructors (see below, Available Types):
# Create a SIMD object for Float arithmetic simd1 = SIMD::FloatArray.new([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]) simd2 = SIMD::FloatArray.new([2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0])
SIMD objects can be treated as numeric objects once created:
# Extract the result of multiplication of both sets simd3 = simd1 * simd2
Use the to_a method to extract data from SIMD objects:
simd3.to_a # => [2.0, 8.0, 18.0, 32.0]
Currently the following types are available:
* double: FloatArray * float: SmallFloatArray * int: IntArray * long: LongArray
Contributions are welcome! To contribute to the project, please:
* Fork the project. * Make a topic branch for your contribution if it's more than a simple fix. * Add tests for any new functionality/to verify that bugs have been fixed. * Send a merge request on GitLab against the working branch.
